Healthy Aging Month is an annual obser­vance month designed to focus national atten­tion on the pos­i­tive aspects of grow­ing older. 

September is recognized as National Preparedness Month (NPM) which serves as a reminder that we all must take action to prepare, now and throughout the year, for the types of emergencies that could affect us where we live, work, and also where we visit. Due to the success of last year’s theme, “Don’t Wait, Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today,” will be returning for this September with a continuing emphasis on preparedness for youth, older adults, and people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs. Thank you for taking time help make America more prepared for emergencies.

Led by the International Council on Active Aging, Active Aging Week celebrates aging and active living. Each year event organizers engage participants in wellness activities in a safe, friendly and fun atmosphere.

Now in its 22nd year, the Zarrow Mental Health Symposium is a gathering of mental health, addiction and homelessness professionals.

The 2016 National Zarrow Mental Health Symposium is presented through a partnership between Community Solutions, a New York-based non-profit that has organized the national campaign Zero: 2016, and Mental Health Association Oklahoma, a nationally recognized leader in permanent supportive housing and peer recovery services.

This year’s event centers on “Sex Differences Across the Lifespan: A Focus on Metabolism,” including differences between men and women in diabetes and heart disease.

Experts from the international scientific community are part of an inter-multi-trans-disciplinary forum to exchange their latest results related to Hospice and Palliative Care.
